Below you will find more information on services offered. I am happy to answer any questions during our 15-minute consultation call. To schedule a consultation, please complete the contact form or email me directly at madisondawmft@gmail.com
Telehealth Therapy
I conduct therapy virtually for clients who are anywhere in California. I have been using telehealth as a tool to provide access to clients who may be unable to access in-person therapy services for a variety of reasons.
What can you expect from a telehealth session with me? I pride myself on starting sessions promptly. When we schedule our first session, you will receive a link to the session from Simple Practice. At the time of our scheduled session, you will be able to click the link from a text or email reminder. Sessions can be conducted on any device with access to internet and a front-facing camera. You may be prompted to download the Telehealth by Simple Practice app (free) if you are using a smartphone. Once session starts, I will confirm you are in California, are in a space where you feel comfortable participating in therapy, and then we do our thing.

Walk & Talk
For clients in South Orange County, I offer walk & talk sessions in addition to telehealth. Most of us are aware of the countless benefits of fresh air and gentle movement, as well as an ocean view. Whether our sessions are mostly walk & talk or we schedule a walk & talk session to shake up our virtual therapy sessions, I’d be honored to spend time with you in what I consider to be my backyard!
What can you expect from a walk & talk session with me? We will meet at an agreed upon location (I generally suggest Parque Del Mar- right above San Clemente Pier), and decide on walking together, finding a spot to sit, or a combination of the two. Walk & talk therapy is not appropriate for every client and concern. I like to consider factors such as privacy, mobility needs, weather, safety, and confidentiality when scheduling.
